There's one positive thing about Fiorentina’s despite their recent form is their home record over the season. It’s the fifth best in Serie A with 14 points in seven games. On the contrary, Empoli have amassed a measly three points in seven away fixtures, the third worst record in Italy’s top flight.

Empoli struggled during the start of the season under previous Coach Aurelio Andreazzoli. However, since Giuseppe Iachini’s hiring in early November, they’ve won three out of their last four games and drawn the other.

Fiorentina might have had some hiccups from 8 previous games 2 loses to Juventus and Lazio and the rest are draws, Empoli is the right opponent to return to winning ways. Empoli's away record this season 0 wins, 3 darws and 4 loses.
